WRRC Copenhagen 26

Whether you're chasing records or just here to have fun, we want you to have the best possible race experience.

That's why we sent an important email yesterday to those running the 5 km and half marathon.

We're asking you to double-check your expected finish time.

You've trained. Maybe you've improved. Maybe things haven't gone exactly to plan – and that's okay.

What matters most now is that your expected finish time reflects where you are today.

This will put you in the right start group and give you a better experience by helping everything flow smoothly on race day.

Go to your profile and take a moment to make sure everything's up to date.

Deadline for changing your expected finish time is 14 September.

NB. If you're running the one mile, you don't have to do anything.

An important update about the resale platform.

The resale platform closes Monday 14 September 23:59 CEST. After this deadline, it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, or transfer a bib through the platform.

If your bib is still listed for sale when the platform closes, it will automatically be returned to you. You will also receive an email with information about your entry.

In addition, the resale platform is now also available for 5 km and one mile. As there are still entries available for both races, there is no waiting pool, but if you have a bib you no longer need, you can safely transfer it to someone you know through the resale platform.

Copenhagen loves international spectators.

Runners from more than 149 different nations will come together for WRRC Copenhagen 26, and we want the city to look and feel as international as the start line.

That's why we are encouraging international communities in Copenhagen to create your own cheering zones along the courses that reflect your culture, your traditions, and your way of celebrating.

Choose a spot.
Bring your flags, national team jerseys, homemade signs in your language – anything that can help showcase your nationality.
And get ready to cheer!
